I have downloaded both the ESPhome-flasher and the NodeMCU pyflasher but have not been able to get them to run. Got past the waining from apple, but when I start either flasher it starts to load it's icon shows up on the dock and then it quits. Is it possible I am missing a driver or some other resource ? Would appreciate any suggestions from anyone who has been able to flash the esp8266
Thanks

Hi Elwood,
I needed to download a driver as I couldn't select it or see it from the dropdown menu. The driver that worked for me can be found by searching Mac_OSX_VCP_Driver.
Hope this helps.
Interesting the esphomeflasher app will run and not find the nodemcu without the driver installed, but when the driver is installed I can’t get the app to run.
I’ve checked the prefs in Security and all is ok...as the app did load without the driver installed.
I’ve tried on 2 different macs running 10.12 and 10.14 with no luck. The app won’t load on either with the driver installed.
Appreciate any ideas.
Edit: Tried a couple different USB cables, a reboot, and finally got it working.
Thanks,
Carl
